Description

Domaine Etienne Sauzet Chevalier-Montrachet 2017 is a full-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Grand Cru climat of Chevalier-Montrachet in the Puligny-Montrachet commune of the Côte de Beaune. The wines of Etienne Sauzet are among the most sought-after in Puligny. The Premiers and Grands Crus, in particular, tend to be models of concentration with restraint. Etienne Sauzet tends to dial down the use of new oak, preferring a level of around 20% new for its 1er Cru Chardonnays. The domaine vineyards have been farmed biodynamically since 2010. "When it`s as good as this, Chevalier is every bit as exciting as the more famous and expensive Montrachet. This four-barrel parcel from the highest part of the grand cru is particularly delicate and refined. Tangy, crunchy and mouthwateringly fresh, it`s a brilliant wine that wasn`t easy to produce in a vintage like 2017." Decanter, 2018
